Summary

Dixie Bee Elementary School is a K–5 school at 1655 E Jessica Dr in Terre Haute, Indiana, serving 564 students as the largest elementary in its immediate comparison group and part of the Vigo County School Corp. It is a 4-star school ranked 244th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (76th percentile) in 2025–26 — a strong standing inside a district that itself ranks in the 28th percentile statewide.

Dixie Bee outperforms nearly everyone around it. In 2025–26, 46.37% of students were proficient in ELA and 61.25% in math, versus 31.23% and 33.00% district-wide — gaps of roughly 15 and 28 points. The school also beats Indiana's average in every tested grade and subject, with 4th grade math at 73.91%, 5th grade social studies at 62.92%, and 4th grade science at 59.78%. Among ten nearby elementaries, Dixie Bee is the only 4-star school; the next closest is Riley Elementary School at the 56th percentile, while most others sit between the 5th and 29th percentiles. Dixie Bee leads the group in ELA, math, and science while spending less per student ($9,128) than every one of them.

Attendance is another strength: chronic absenteeism is 12.7%, well below the district's 27.4% and the state's 16.7%. Dixie Bee also posts better results than Riley Elementary School despite higher poverty, higher absenteeism, and lower per-pupil spending. Watch items: ELA proficiency has stayed relatively flat (46.37% now, 50.54% last year), 5th grade is the softest cohort (math 47.19%), absenteeism has drifted up from 8.5% in 2020–21, and poverty is rising while per-student funding has slipped.

This is the best school ever. The teachers here take pride in spending quality time teaching the kids and sharing information on projects which need help. When you walk in those doors, you come across two beautiful staff ladies who welcome you with a big smile which really makes you feel good. It's like having a sunshine after long days of darkness. From there we get to meet the Principal, who should be named as "principal on wheels". She is so energetic and full of life, she greets each and every visitor with her smile and takes pride in her work too. She is always ready to run around the whole school helping teachers and the staff and the visitors. It's amazing to watch her help the cafeteria staff during the lunch hours. Where else, do you get to see a principal who even cleans up the tables to have them ready for the kids to eat lunch. She interacts with the kids and mingles with them which really makes the kids friendly to her. They all look upon her as a best friend. My little girl always talks about her principal and she says that she wants to stay in this school forever. This principal is amazing! Then, comes the teachers who are always ready to spend some extra time if the kids need help. Sometimes they like to stay after school to help the kids with some study issues. Not only one, but you will see the same kind of energy in each and every teacher. They all seem to be giving positive vibes to the kids which encourages them to do bettter and better each day. Each and every assistant teacher in the school does its job efficiently and makes us feel proud of them. I would also like to thank the janitors who help our kids stay in a clean, healthy environment. Another story I remember here is that its being said that when God made mom, he said that he couldn't be there everytime, so mom was his replacement. Well, then I would like to add that when a mom is temporarily unavailable, it is the school teachers and the staff who do a responsible job like a mom. I salute each and every teacher, staff member, every person who is a part of this noble job. I thank all of them from the bottom of my heart and anything I talk about my wonderful school is less, since it is the BEST. Close Quote
